    Help! First time chicken hatcher, what on earth are they? LOTS OF PICS

    What attacked my chick? Other chickens traumatised..

    Hi there, I'm a first time poster. I had an awful thing happen last night to my favourite 3 month old hen Lucky (it ended up being an inappropriate name, poor little girl). My mum had to put the chickens into their pen last night (they are free range in part of our garden), because I was home...
